- Abstract
- Querying data is one of the most frequent activities in business organisations. The tasks involving queries for big data collection, extraction and analysis have never been easy, because to obtain the high quality responses, the expected outcome from these tasks need to be more accurate and highly relevant to a business organisation. The emergence of big data era has further complicated the task. The enormous volume of data from diverse sources and the variety of queries impose a big challenge on business organisations on how to extract deep insight from big data within acceptable time. Determining significance levels of queries based on their relevance to business organisations is able to deal with such challenge. To address this issue, up to our knowledge, there exists only one approach in the literature to calculate the significance level of a query. However, in this approach, only business processes are considered by manually selecting weights for core and non-core business processes. As the significance level of a query must express the importance of that query to a business organisation, it has to be calculated based on the consideration of business strategic direction, which requires the consideration of both business processes and strategies. This paper proposes an approach for the first time where the significance level of a query is determined by exploiting process contributions and strategy priorities. The results produced by our proposed approach using a business case study show the queries that are associated with more important business processes and higher priority strategies have higher significance levels. This vindicates the application of the significance level in a query to dynamically scale the semantic information use in capturing the appropriate level of deep insight and relevant information required for a business organisation.
